Here is a very comprehensive list of bankrupt developers.

I will add this to the OP.

And here's the list of all video game developers ever - as you see, it's nowhere near 80%:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_developers

 

Don't forget that it isn't even "80% of all game developers that ever existed closed up to 2016) it's more like from all the developers that existed on begin of gen 7, 80% closed doors... unless there were a lot of no-name devs at the time I can't say that more than 20% of the know developers closed forever in the gen. As you pointed out, they disolve and regroup.
